When you have clarity, you can tap your inner reservoir of desire. And in truth, the more desirable your destination, the more energy you'll have to reach it.
So our journey continues. It's been a couple weeks since the Chicago launch of my first published book, Secrets to Shine Through the Noise at my Italian family's restaurants, Nando Milano (yes we made the tour to include Champaign and Chicago).

We also aligned this live book launch event to help support #TeensGoGold with our charity partner, The Who's Teen Cancer America! Many of our guests dressed in gold, we had a delicious shipment of Maui Gold pineapple arrive fresh from Maui with the help of our friends and promo partners, Take Home Maui, and we gave our custom gold #ShineThroughTheNoise bracelets out to our guests.
We're honored to help raise awareness with our partners, readers and friends. We are still donating 10% of book sales to Teen Cancer America, so thank you for your support!

I will be posting more photos and an excerpt from our chapter reading done by Bob Kaliebe from "the Dark Knight", "Public Enemies" and "Chicago Fire" in the works. Everyone laughed in the right places and it felt good to hear that story set up out loud. Many of the scenarios I describe in my book are coming to life. I recently changed day jobs to balance my dream job and to make time to workout, sail and travel.
[Yes I will be getting back to writing a novel series and writing and producing films for Shine Through the Noise and the Davanti thriller series...thanks for asking. :)]
The LA book launch will be Sunday, October 23, with our seaside friends. Our A-list gets their invite first. :)
I am very proud of the work we've accomplished since our cover reveal with Alfonzo Words and of the support and shares from our tribe! Justin Sachs, the CEO of Motivational Press has invited me to

Take time to celebrate your successes this week! I would love to see your light bulb moments, more coloring images and quotes that resonate with you!
I will be sharing many more on my Instagram and Twitter.
